Most states actually already have a form of a consumption tax, it's called a sales tax.

But if you think about it, sales taxes are one example of a regressive tax, since poorer individuals are forced to pay a higher percentage of their income for clothing, transportation, and other daily essentials.

You could go to the next step, a luxury tax, but then who would be deciding what's a luxury and what isn't? Would be very tricky.
